One of five PCs not connecting to Belkin 54G router

\015 We have a Belkin 54G router. Two desktops are hardwired and work fine. We have three laptops. Two are connected and working fine. The third has been connected in the past but after a IP outage today when all five computers were disconnected now cannot reconnect. This laptop stays stuck in "acquiring network address". We have disconnected, repaired, given it manual IP addresses, nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?\015

Answers :

I would connect it to the router using a lan cable to verify that it will get a IP address and connect to the internet. Write down the IP information and make a static wireless connection with that info. It should work hardwired and wirelessly with this info. If it doesn't work wirelessly you may have a bad wireless card or you may find that their is already conflicting static IP info in the connection that has to be removed. Make sure that on your internet protocol (TCP/IP) properties that you have selected "Obtain an IP address automatically" and Obtain DNS server address automatically". Clear any settings that you may see there.

I have an ethernet hub to which my dsl modem is connected. I also have two computers on this hub so I can access the internet on both PCs. I am trying to also connect a belkin wireless access point to the hub so I can access the internet from my PSP/Wii/Xbox. Every time one of these devices tries to get the IP address, it fails. What am i doing wrong?

You should try to upgrade to a router. The main differences between a router and a hub is a router has a microcontroller and a hub does not. The router can operate at something called a full duplex which means it can send and receive data at the same ...

Do you have a wireless security protocol enabled, and if so, what? Install a wired connection to the router (use an ehternet cable to connect your laptop's RJ-45--looks like a wide phone plug--into one of the Belkin router's network jacks). Go to the ...

I am trying to network my acer with windows vista to the desktop wireless router belkin 54g. My other two laptops worked after making the wireless connection secure but the Acer laptop will not go to any wireless network not even an unsecure one.

Have you verified the wireless card that is in the machine? (Are you certain there is one there?) Even if there is one inside it, the PC may not see it. Go to device manager (My Computer, Properties, Hardware tab, Device Manager button). Then look th ...

I have three computers.
1. A desk top - hardwired to the DSL Modeum & Wireless router (TRENDnet)
2. A HP Laptop XP wireless connected to internet 3. XP desktop in the next room connected with a wireless (SMC 2662W adapter) We have operated for years with a Belkin router.
Recently the DSL modeum kept dropping out requiring it to be rebooted many times a day. AT&T (after sending us a new modeum) determined the Belkin router was the problem. I purchased a new TRENDnet TEW-631BRP router.

Did you configure security on the new router? If so, it probably defaulted to WPA which is not supported by the 2662W. You could switch to WEP but it's really no better than no security.\015\012\015\012Another possibility is that the ro ...

Router problem. Time Warner had a internet problem last Sunday, April 26 here in the Northeast. They fixed it, but our internet still didn't function properly as it did before the TWC problem. Very slow connections and timing out most of the time. Talked to TWC tech person, and found out that internet was fine to my main computer, but when the router was hooked up the problem came back. Netgear WGR614 v4. Only thing TWC said was to try and change channel. We tried but problem still exists.

Most probably it's the router's fault, if you have one. I've seen many cheap routers randomly loosing wireless connection with their computer clients. Try with another router. One possible solution: upgrade the router's firmware. ...

Connection to encrypted wireless router

Actually oftentimes this is because of a poor connection between the computer and the router. Since it does connect when using a static IP then you may be 1 step away. Put in the routers IP under gateway 192.168.0.1 then for DNS put in the ones that ...

I have a Linksys SRX200 router that has problems with the wireless. A wired connection works fine (and connects through my satellite to the Internet). However, the wireless connection is undetected by any of my notebook PCs (several different machines). Once in a while, the wireless seems to come up, but it only stays up for a minute or two and then goes back down.
I've rebooted the router to factory defaults, but that didn't help any.

Yes, it did work before. In fact, it was working during the day, but then when I tried to use it in the evening it started failing. I tried talking with someone at Linksys, to no avail. Although I did say it had been working, he didn't seem to get th ...
